How is the construction on this thing? I used to have a Wildcat c5 and I have to return it because of two separate design-related failures!

Seems to be very well designed and constructed. I have had no issues with it.

In a word...flawless. Machined aluminum rails, all carbon riser and limbs. Everything is tight after one season of heavy use.

My husband has been very impressed with his crossbow,he hasn't had any issues..except for losing a couple practice arrows

I have had no problems with the bow itself and have fired over a thousand bolts since purchasing it. I did snap the rope on the rope cocking device in half one time but Barnett sent me a new one free of charge and the new one has worked fine.

I have never had any problems with this bow. Very sturdy and goes together very easy out of box.

So far it has been great, I would suggest you buy the hand crank that goes inside the butt. Pulling back on this crossbow by hand is just too much when you're shooting at targets. The hand crank is about $130 is basspro, but about $79 on amazon. It makes pulling back only about 16 lbs. hope this helps, I give it 5 stars!

Construction is great. They know what they are doing. If you want the best buy the Goast. However my twelve year old granddaughter killed her deer by 8:00 A M the first morning with the Jackel. I'm mad because I'll have to wait til next year to get my first. I'm 68.

Had the same problem. This part is trash it's not built to the correct tolerances and it's not even straight. Get the nc star one. I did it was cheaper, easier to file and fits amazing

Any good? I am not sure what you want to know. They are Bosch sensors. They are (to my understanding) OEM. As long as you buy the correct sensor (up/down stream cabling is of different lengths) for the correct placement/problem, they work fine. I purchased two upstream pieces because they were due to be replaced. I had gotten several codes to that effect. No codes of that type since.IF you plan on a downstream sensor resolving 'inefficient cat' codes..you will almost certainly be disappointed. The O2 sensor is not likely the cause of those codes. Such codes are MORE likely to be a cat failure: Particularly the left (driver's side) cat on an E38. Any good? I am not sure what you want to know. They are Bosch sensors.

If you're going to spend $300, you'd be better off purchasing a different brand. One more popular such as Exceed RC or a great buy the Schumacher Racing Cougar. The Redcat Racing buggies would be another great option for the price with no trouble locating parts. The Schumacher is stellar for the price point. I wouldn't go spending double when you can get into the next level for the same amount. The level up will get you a buggy built better, faster, and with replacement parts available. Have fun shopping it's half the fun.

Mine had issues also. The turret didn't work and the track came off. I've tried to have amazon correct the problem and got no where. I ended up just putting it on a shelf. I was and still upset withe the service I got from this deal. Sorry I can't help.

I had the same issue and at first it was not an issue but after a few months the mechanism that locked the tower in the upright position failed. The piece of metal that you squeeze to lower the rack enabling you to get into the back of your SUV / Truck wiggles out of position and the entire rack drops to the lowered position. Be careful. If my truck wasn't a high profile vehicle the tire from one of the bikes would have been drug along the highway. I "Fixed" this issue temporarily by cutting a piece of wood to fit to wedge into the space where the metal spring is and then zip tying it there so it couldn't wiggle itself open but in the end I ended up spending the money and buying a higher quality rack.

I have had one in my Corvette Z06 for many years now. I installed it in the back of the car and ran big gauge cables up to the front, for better weight distribution for the track. I haven't had any trouble cranking over the 5.7L V8 through those cables, as long as it has a good charge. I don't drive it all of the time, so I keep a trickle charger on it to keep it topped off. I do live in Los Angeles, so if you live in a cold climate it may not work so well.

It's an axle-back and not cat-back. Mine has been on the Jeep to two years now and has started to fall apart from rust. I'm going to look into other options on my next - stainless materials only rather instead of settling for less. You get what you pay for.

Make sure both treads are driving. Check to see if there is any hair or any type of debris tangling up one side of the treads. Or check to see that nothing has rusted out yet. Mine died after 2 seasons because the driveshaft rusted apart on me. The pin that goes through the driveshaft to catch the tread cog was of a different metal than the driveshaft and rusted out from Galvanic Corrosion. Basically poor and cheap engineering. Would not surprise if similar oversights happened elsewhere in the machine.

Hi, I simply contacted Amazon, explained that I purchased the above item with in 6 months of it failing. The part was defective. Amazon sent me out a new one within a day or so, I returned the defective part, my car been running great ever since... So maybe you also have recieved an defective part as well, write an email to Amazon, hope you have the same outcome as me.

From what I have experienced the top wire connector underneath at the top are not very good I believe the bottom is for the pilot ignighter so it is not as critical, the top is the sensor which is very critical and wants to shut the unit down due to loss of voltage I haven't taken mine apart yet to fix them so for now I just push the wire on as i release the pilot button.

I talked with Hornady because I was curious about the warranty and they told me that it has a lifetime warranty. I've put thousands of cases through mine and it works wonderfully. It's rugged as a tank too!Add: Most of the bad reviews that I've read have to do with improper set-up. Truth is, the instructions are not that clear, so I'll bet that happens a lot. But once it is set up (especially the cam lock) it is dead accurate and doesn't drift:)

I have a few spares lying around but I just moved to a different house and can't find them at the moment for a quick measure. Apparently they are notorious for missing bolts and you should call them about sending them to you. Once you get this beast on though you'll love it. I just got in a bumper-bender with mine except it was the other guy's that got destroyed and there was just a small scratch on mine. Nothing glossy spray paint couldn't fix...

Mine has not failed and is working great! I took my vehicle to the dealer to have it installed since they're familiar with the suspension system and the vehicle.

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

Bil I think you're SOL. I believe 5 was max. Anyway, I wouldn't put this on a new C7. Recommend real carbon fiber beauty. I have deposit on '15 Z06 vert--enjoy your ride!
